24 Sussex medical call won't be investigated by RCMP

The RCMP have confirmed that Ottawa EMS was called to the Prime Minister’s residence at 24 Sussex Drive last Saturday night as media reports said an 18-year-old girl needed to be taken to hospital for severe intoxication.

RCMP would not confirm who the call was for, only that it was not Stephen Harper or one of his family members.

A Quebec radio station however is reporting that EMS were called to attend to an 18-year-old female suffering from suspected case of alcohol poisoning. Cogeco News reported the young woman was transferred to hospital.

The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19. It’s unknown whether the young woman arrived at the residence intoxicated, though just across the border in Quebec the legal drinking age is 18.

Harper has two teenage children, including his oldest son, Ben, who will turn 18 later this year.
